Lots because biotech is rapidly expanding and new companies are needing more and more space

Are you stuck in 2021? Biotech is certainly not crashing down, but some R&D had been fired and many large companies have hiring freezes in place

Sure, but some others are still looking for space.

The developers don’t want to spend money in 2023 unless there’s a tenant, and plenty of companies are tightening their belts or seeing investment streams dry up. But others, like some institutional tenants, are planning for 2024 and beyond in terms of their space needs.

I don’t disagree with you that the book may be over, but you’re right that it isn’t crashing either. Life-science has dramatically cooled in just the last 4-6 months. We’ll probably not have a good sense of how things look until 6+ months from now.

Mostly agree. For me, there won't be expansion in this sector, like many others, until the FED cuts interest rates. Could be well into 2024

But of course NIMBYs won’t let enough housing be built.

Assembly Row for one and plenty in downtown Boston. My company was looking to get out of their lease in assembly but the market sucks, no one is looking to buy/rent.
